Cull and Waste Potato Management

Potatoes that are unusable for fresh market, processing, or dehydration because they do not meet minimum size, grade, or quality standards, or potatoes disposed because of low market value due to overproduction, are considered waste or "cull" potatoes. This publication offers information on cull potato management options such as winter field spreading, burial, livestock feed, and compost.
